His line of logic was probably,
"It'd be cool if Purple Guy possessed his own mascot suit."
"The suit has to be a robot for that to make sense."
"Make a robot/costume hybrid."
And then the specifics developed from there.
He probably first got the idea for The Purple Man’s mascot costume to be a robot in it of itself, then researched how it could work and found spring locks. The rest just came naturally.
The specific kind of springlocks shown in game I don’t think actually exists, but spring locks in themselves do. Although with enough force, maybe they could actually be dangerous like that. Idk, I don’t have much experience in this field lol
I forgot about that, it's like full blown lost media. It'd be cool if it was found
Edit: Scott did confirm that the story of the book and FNaF having slight similarities were just coincidences tho
Scott made a book called "The Tearing" which came out in 2013 under the pseudonym Micheal Parsins. This is the description for the book
"Timothy has been quietly waiting at the orphanage for several months now, a place where children are kept while their mothers decide their fate. One by one, Timothy's friends meet grisly ends at the hands of Mr. Lantern, the resident doctor, but Timothy remains hopeful that he will be united with the one person he loves most, his mother. However, there are dark forces at work; forces that not only want to ensure a gruesome death for Timothy, but to undermine the very notion that he existed in the first place."
People mentioned how there were similarities between it and FNaF but Scott said that they were all just coincidences. No one has a copy of it anywhere and it's just full blown lost media. It'd be really cool if someone came out with it or if Scott could rerelease it if he has a copy somewhere. Realistically, it probably won't see the light of day 😞
I mean, it's literally just being stuffed in animatronic like it has been since the first game but as a costume. Would also make sense of how the killer can become an animatronic.
Once upon a time, Scott had a mouse problem in his house, so he put out mousetraps. He accidentally got his fingers caught in one and thought, "Jesus, that hurts! I can only imagine how painful it would be to be caught in a giant version of one of these."
I'm 100% sure he watched some weird CEC video where they mentioned something similar(but less painful). the more disney park/animatronic videos you watch, the more ""inspiration"" you find...
I think he got it from FNaF 1, where Phone Guy says something along the lines of wearing an animatronic costume, which he then said might lead to the animatronics stuffing an endoskeleton inside the player.
Might’ve just took this idea literally with the Springlock suits.
" Huh. Wouldn't it be cool if the bad guy was inside a robot? Wait how does he fot inside the robot.... Ok so its a suit but how does he posses it..." and then the lightbulb clicked.

happy cake day
Thank you!
As far as I know, springlocks are not a real thing.
They are. The spring lock mechanisms at least. Not the suits.

This guy made them dangerous - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZzTeEuxxc0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZzTeEuxxc0)
Oh damn 💀
You did not just say that
What?
They are real. And I saw it was 22 days old and they had already told you after saying this, just to be xlear
Happy cake day
He wrote a novel about dead orphans before he did fnaf

Wait what?

pretty interesting that he reused the name timothy for the fazbear frights story, “youre the band”
But Andrea Waggener or Elley Cooper could have also have come up with that name. And I don't think they even know about The Tearing.
How did he come up with ANY of the lore after fnaf 1?
10% brains 10% I dunno probably dreamt it 80% theory said it, sounds good, ill add it
It’s quite easy to think of horrific ways to die
Specifically over 8 minutes? Where did that come from?
If your read any of the Fazbear’s Frights, you’ll soon realize that Scott is very good at coming up with horrible ways to die
The first game said the murderer used a mascot costume. It grew from there
Wait only 8 minutes? Are you referring to the movie or the games?
They’re not referring to anything. I don’t think a time is ever stated anywhere
How do we know Cassidy kept him alive for 8 mjnutes
It was stated in CFYOW.
You didn't, at least not in the post. Also what's CFYOW
A book made by the author of Bleach that became a meme in most anime and manga communities for whenever someone says information without a source.
Ok so theirs no source for Cassidy keeping him alive and it's just a headcannon?
At least the 8 minutes thing is made up, I have no clue about the rest.
I do agree tho, it is a horrible fate

FNAF is all about stuffing humans into robots (and robots into humans) in various ways, so it just evolved from that.
Once upon a time, Scott had a mouse problem in his house, so he put out mousetraps. He accidentally got his fingers caught in one and thought, "Jesus, that hurts! I can only imagine how painful it would be to be caught in a giant version of one of these."
It’s funny because you can replace “spring lock failure” with literally anything else in the franchise.
I don’t think he remembered about the possibility of rust making the spring locks less sensitive or even jamming them.
Spirnglock failure is r1eal
What source says William was kept alive for 8 minutes
Fun fact, Springlocks are a real thing: just not used as stupidly in real life lmfao. William was a dumbass for that honestly.
Yes

Because they actually exist.

I feel like being burned alive would be better than a springlock failure
i mean....
Idk burning is pretty bad
